A Democratic Senator should hold a filibuster by reading Virginia Giuffre's entire memoir on the floor.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1. Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

It would help to have a National Day of Action re: SNAP - perhaps on November 1. It would take rapid response but houses of worship could take the lead in mobilizing their members. Educate everyone about the cuts, encourage local donations, pressure Congress, etc...

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

I would like to mention again that menstrual products are covered by FSA funds. fsastore.com - so if you find yourself with money left on the table by the end of the year, consider using those funds and donate the products [pantries, homeless shelters etc...]

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Tear-gassing tree lined streets is Katrina-level optics and that the White House can’t or won’t recognize it how a president goes from ~40% approval to ~25% in a hurry.

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

“It is going to take all of us but to be honest it always has.” @aoc.bsky.social of this race to elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and this fight in our country against fascism.

This is INCREDIBLE. An informed electorate making its opinions known. Beautiful.

When this is over, and we emerge from the darkness, the cowardice of Big Law shall not be forgotten.

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?” No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Good evening from Queens. New York is not for sale.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

Tuesday will be 50 days since the U.S. Supreme Court’s Republican appointees issued an order allowing the Trump administration, essentially, to target working-class Latinos in its massive immigration raids. What has happened since has been as bad, if not worse, than experts warned on Sept. 8.

Parade of horribles.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.

Yeah. So The White House is designated a National Historic Landmark. That means: It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance. Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted. It’s not his house! WTF.

Before detaining community advocate Leonardo, ICE was caught on film rear-ending his truck, and L.A. TACO is sharing the dash cam footage for the first time. The full story: lataco.com/oxnard-dash-... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares and Izzy Ramirez

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott is weirdly afraid of his own constituents in Austin...

L.A. TACO rolled deep all around the greater Los Angeles area. Here are our favorite shots, scenes, moments, and more. The full story: lataco.com/no-kings-oct... By L.A. TACO STAFF, Mike Ojo, and Jonas March

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Bulwark Member Susan Hook sent in this photo from the #NoKings rally in Boise, ID

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

President began demolishing the East Wing of the WH to build there his $200M+ ballroom. East Wing was built in 1942 during the presidency of FDR. It was constructed to cover the bunker that he used during WWII and the President's Emergency Operations Center.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Divorced, whiny ICE goon gets arrested for driving drunk with his kids in the car. He acts like he’s above the law, stating, “I’m Federal.” He also confronts one of the arresting officers, asking, “Are you Haitian?” And makes a big deal out of getting an answer because, "It does matter!"

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers. It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

In the MAGA cultural universe, getting power from wind or the sun is somehow less authentically blue-collar than pulling petroleum out of the ground. As renewables get better, Trump is going to damage our economy over that fiction. ICYMI: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-econ...

When Pam Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while legacy news outlets like the Washington Post wanted to seem "fair" and gave her a thumbs up. Reject both sides journalism by subscribing to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Showing exactly what the GOP stands for.

Is anyone keeping track of cost of Trump's pardons in lost fines and restitution payments? Santos "will also no longer be required to pay more than $370,000 in court-ordered restitution to his victims" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

Trump is isolating the American people from the rest of the world. He is alienating most other countries all at once, uniting the world against us. We are stuck here with him & he is stuck here with us. www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/t...

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Apparently protecting US citizens from flooding is DEI.

FREE THE IDS

It must have been traumatic for Speaker Mike to see naughty bits without having to circumvent his porn filter first.

Fall of Freedom is gaining momentum. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/a...

Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast. She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.

“What is he afraid of?” “Epstein!” House Democrats have a message for Mike Johnson as he continues to avoid swearing in Rep.-elect Grijalva. (video via Ally Mutnick/Twitter)

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.
